Game Music Composition

Creating music for game audio requires a radical shift in production strategy because of the conditional-access design of games. In the Game Music Composition Course, students study game music and design, analyze design approaches, and synthesize and use a toolbox of production strategies through group collaboration led by the educator. Students’ music skills continue to develop through the construction and production of a course project.
